The decision was partially driven by the collapse of oil prices in 2015, which pushed Kee to diversify his business from the oil and gas-focused Sheffield Energy amid fears of a continued decline. Before the official incorporation of Sheffield Green, Kee started developing expertise in the offshore wind industry in Europe, gaining valuable experience before launching operations in Asia in late 2018.
For Bryan Kee, who has been in the human resources (HR) business for more than 20 years, transitioning from providing HR solutions for the oil and gas industry to the renewable energy industry in October 2021 was a sensible decision.
“After much consideration, we decided to go into the renewables sector, mainly because we saw that the skill set required in the oil and gas sector was transferable to the renewable energy sector, especially to the offshore wind industry,” says Kee, who is also the CEO of Sheffield Green, in an interview with The Edge Singapore.
